Question
How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated? The little girl is currently 7 years old. Initially, she felt throat pain when speaking, and her coughing was more severe, and she had a slight fever.
Answer
Generally, for pediatric tonsillitis, it can be considered to give the child some antibiotics for symptomatic treatment; at the same time, regional treatment can also be carried out, including tonsil washing, injection of medication, or laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to administer painkillers according to the situation. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can consider using fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. Surgery is also a method of treating tonsillitis, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to promote an early recovery from the illness.
